I came up with this little gem while brainstorming for vegetable side dishes I could make with zucchini. It happens that we had a few zucchini to use up. Typically, I like zucchini sauteed with onions and sometimes with a little bit of flavoured cream cheese, but I was looking for something different. Something I could take as leftovers in my lunches.
This zucchini bake really fit the bill. It’s part casserole, part frittata. It’s warm and puffy and golden. It’s cheesy and creamy. AND – it’s even healthy. It wins on all accounts.
If you’re starting to find yourself overrun with zucchini from your or your neighbour’s, or your cousin’s garden, remember this recipe. It’s a great way to use up a few.
The flavours in this recipe can be swapped readily – both the herbs and the cheese are easily interchangeable. The sky’s the limit!
